description​

syntax​

DATETIME FROM UNIXTIME (BIGINT unix timestamp [, VARCHAR string format]

Convert the UNIX timestamp to the corresponding time format of bits, and the format returned is specified by string_format

Input is an big integer and return is a string type

Support date_format's format, and default is %Y-%m-%d %H:%i:%s

Other string_format is illegal and will returns NULL.

The current supported range for unix_timestamp is [0, 32536771199]. unix_timestamp values that fall outside of this range will be returned as NULL

example​

mysql> select from_unixtime(1196440219);
+---------------------------+
| from_unixtime(1196440219) |
+---------------------------+
| 2007-12-01 00:30:19 |
+---------------------------+

mysql> select from_unixtime(1196440219, '%Y-%m-%d');
+-----------------------------------------+
| from_unixtime(1196440219, '%Y-%m-%d') |
+-----------------------------------------+

For timestamps that exceed the range, you can use the "from_second" function. DATETIME FROM_SECOND(BIGINT unix_timestamp)

mysql> select from_second(21474836470);
